Another wave of bomb threats impacting flights across Europe

"We were advised about some possible threat on board." The air traffic control message accompanies a Ryanair flight from London to Bulgaria as military jets escort it following a bomb threat.

That exchange is part of an ABC News report posted by WFAA, covering a third day of threats disrupting flights across Europe. In Poland, passengers are shown evacuating onto the tarmac as emergency and security personnel respond. WFAA says no actual bombs had been detected.

The report makes a distinction between the likelihood of an explosive being aboard and the consequences of responding to a threat. One aviation expert describes that likelihood as exceptionally low. Another explains that repeated false alerts create economic costs and put pressure on security systems. The threats have also reached media organizations in the UK and Ireland, according to the report.

The short bulletin drew roughly 28,000 views in its first ten hours, already far above WFAA's usual first-day audience for Shorts.

ABC News reporter Peter Charalambous closes with a practical point for stranded passengers: use credit card travel insurance to help with expenses.
